Darryl Moore, a Philadelphia man, believes the public needs clear and concise information on the spread of the virus with a focus on at-risk groups, like gay men."I don’t want this to turn into another gay disease because it’s not true this affects everybody," Moore said. "I know they're saying that men with men are the most at-risk, but this can affect everyone." Philadelphia's Health Department has reported 63 cases of Monkeypox, a considerable rise from 11 cases earlier this month.

Biden's canceling of student loans relies on pandemic, 2003 law

WASHINGTON - The Biden administration is tying its authority to cancel student debt to the coronavirus pandemic and to a 2003 law aimed at providing help to members of the military. Legal challenges are expected.Skeptics of the administration's ability to act on its own, without new legislation, had once included President Joe Biden himself and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.But in a legal opinion released Wednesday, the Justice Department said that the HEROES Act of 2003 gives the administration "sweeping authority" to reduce or eliminate student debt during a national emergency, "when significant actions with potentially far-reaching consequences are often required."RELATED: Student loan forgiveness: Biden unveils plan to cancel $10K in student debtThe law was adopted with overwhelming bipartisan support at a time when U.S.

Uvalde school police chief Pete Arredondo defends actions ahead of possible firing

UVALDE, Texas (AP) - Angry calls to fire Uvalde’s embattled school police chief swept through an auditorium Wednesday where school board members faced demands to make Pete Arredondo the first officer to lose his job over the fumbled response to the massacre at Robb Elementary School.The school board was meeting to decide Arredondo’s future, three months to the day after a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers in one of the deadliest classroom shootings in U.S. history.Arredondo was not in attendance but through his attorney released a blistering and defiant 17-page letter that lashed out at state officials, defended the police response to the May 24 massacre and accused the school board of putting his safety at risk by not allowing him to carry a weapon to the meeting.As the board convened into a closed session, some in the auditorium yelled "Coward!" and "What about our children?"Arredondo, who has been on administrative leave since June, has come under the most scrutiny for his actions during the May 24 tragedy.

Quebec bumps up COVID-19 booster campaign ahead of new school year, fall

COVID-19 booster shots ahead of schedule as the school year begins and the fall season looms.Luc Boileau, the province’s public health director, announced adults of all ages could book their appointments starting Tuesday — instead of next week as previously planned.“We want to insist that there are several measures in place to protect themselves and protect those around them as they return to their regular fall activities,” he said, citing vaccination as an example.Children who are between the ages of 12 and 17 and have received two doses of the vaccine will also be able to get a third shot. The idea is for Quebecers to get a booster shot if it has been at least five months since their last dose — or three months since they were last infected with the virus.
